While we Dance, They Die
In the case of Darfur, people have been dying for three years and all the world community wants to do is debate. This is another reason why I have no faith in the UN. The US government is wanting to classify it a genocide, but the Europeans don't. They don't want to have to go and help.
They rather musicians and celebrities come up with commercial events which really help no one. So we go to a concert and dance and raise some money, but while we are dancing more people are being killed. How is that really solving the problem.
Is it because its in Africa and these are the poor Africans and not white eastern Europeans? I remember them all jumping on the bandwagon for the Balkans, but in Rwanda and Darfur there is no response.
The world needs to step up and use force. Maybe we should send someone to talk to them? Maybe we should pass a resolution? Maybe economic sanctions on a country that has no econonmy? Maybe, if we are lucky everyone will be dead before we pass a resolution to intervene and we will not need to send anyone after all.
Sorry if I can't get up for Darfur concerts or any other consumer oriented events which don't solve the problem. I rather things get done and not be well publicised than have an issue the world is all aware of, but still the problems persists. So now people will know about Darfur, hell it should have been confronted and taken care of years ago. The cynic in me wonders if we could convert all the people in Darfur to Judaism will it help get them saved.
